The Black Women’s Beauty – Strength

What is beauty for the African American woman? Is it the images fed to us by magazines, movies, videos. Does it lie in the jar of a hair relaxer or sealed in the package of Yaki #3B?

Can you remember the first time you heard about/saw "The Doll Test"? How did it make you feel?

I by no means decry the media as the sole source of such self-hatred. I sincerely believe that African American women must define beauty for ourselves, acknowledging the variety of shapes, sizes, and shades it comes in.
